The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1887-10-29
All, THERE !!

Just before the meeting OF the STATE
Central Committee the imes-Democrat
nroposed what struck US to be certain
fair and equitable rules for the 'iom-
mittee to adopt for the guidance OF inc
Democratic party in the pending cam
paieu. There were certain editorial
attached that we did not
entirely approve, but we reproduced
the article in full, not only to aVoid
earbling but more especially for future
reference.
The time for reference has come.
That part Of the Times-Democrars
proposition which struck us most iorc'-
bly was that to exclude negroes 1ro"
Democratic primaries and leave the
nomination of officers and election OF
delegates to the State Convention 10
white Democrats only.
Gov: McEnery and Senator Eust's
seemed to favor this proposition IN
their speeches at Monroe aud the lei
EaRAI felt proud because we thought
we had captured two distingu'she"
converts to our idea, as we had neen
advocating the idea for months oe'ofe
the mes-Democrat or Gov. Mclnery
or Senator Eustis opened their dis''n
cuished mouths on the question.
But we were mistaken.
We made no converts OF these '"ies
oracles OF white Democratic supremacy
They were only playing "hide an'
seekn with the vital question to tn
people and State.
The Times Democrat proposed yer!
fair thing but it had no idea OF see'n
the proposition carried out.
To prove this assertion it is only nee
cessary to quote the record.
The Times Democrat proposed
2. "The election of delegates to be D
sotite primaries in every parish" Ell
The italics are ours.
To carry out this proposition the iol
lowing resolution, as an amendmen'
the report of the committee on resoi'
tions, was introduced before the sta
Central Committee by Mr.. Ogden
Bossier:
"Provided, that no person who voted
Blaine and Logan, or for John "A. steve
son in the last election shall be entitled
take part or vote in the primaries or ma
meetings in this election"
In the face of opposition, and we
no reason why it should not have be-
adopted, Mr.. Ogden withdrew the n
olution.
II is now claimed, however, by
number of McEuery papers, that N

POLITICAL NOTES.

Gen Nichols and party will address
the people at this place on the "n u
November. Don't forget the date.
Why did Bossier Ogden 80 abruptly
withdraw his test of Democracy resoiu-
ton ? Did Larry O'Donne'l fear the
shades of his Republican words III
Plauuemines? Had he read Lionel
Adams patriotic address to the Cres'
cent CITY Republican Club, or was he
advised that it might be read, for the
information of the members OF the
committee? Perhaps he was ADVISED
that Jim Houston was tender on Inc
subiect Even Burke little mixed
,Tis said Assessor Lecbe did not vote
for wiltz and was candidate for the
House of Representative against the
Democratic nominee, Horace Philips.
Even Assessor Aucoin has been some-
what suspected that at one time In his
life he accepted Republican favor :; that
he even served as Republican super
visor IN one OF the Florida parishes.
Such things do awfully influence ones
opiuion.-N. o. Ne,os.

Opepinc of the Reichsteg.

The new Reiehstag of Germany was
opened yesterday, and Bismarck will
soon known whether or not the govern
ment has suftic ent majority TO pass all
the measures which he deems necessary
for the peace and safety OF the empire.
1t Is admitted that a majority will sup
port the septeunate, but it is not by any
means certain that other measures
which Bismarck considers to be highly
important will have the Reichstag's ap-
prevail.
The Emperor in his speech, delivered at
the Reichstag's opening, said that the
foreign relations of the empire had under
gone no material change since the pre-
vious Reichstag was opened, and he ex-
pressed the belief that these satisfactory
relations would be maintained If the
present Reichstag would pledge itself IN
provide for putting forth the nations tull
strength against any attack that might
be made upon it's frontiers. In other
words, the way to prevent war was to
make such ample preparations for II that
| Germany's enemies would consider 1t the
wiser policy to let her alone.
The Emperor thanked the Pope for the
assistance rendered the government in
the late elections. He could hardly have
done otherwise. II 1t had not been for
the Pope's advice to Catholics In Ger
many it is possible that the government
would have failed to secure majority
even for the septennate.
What Bismarck has always relied upon
is the strong national sentiment among
the German people, and he still relies
upon it. All that Is required to
secure hearty support OF the govern
ments policv is the conviction that that
policy is absolutely necessary for Ger
man unity and the safety OF the empire.
III the last Reichstag there was a strong
belief that Germany was In no immediate
danger OF being attacked by France, and
this belief prevailed to some extent dur
ing the late elections. If there had not
been doubt that war was imminent, the
love OF country, which is strong in the
| German breast, would have been suffi.
Client, without the Pope's aid, to have
given the government handsome MAJOR
ity in the Reichstag.
| 1t is probable that the war rumors. IL
hey continue, will be less exciting in
| the very near future. There is an uneasy
feeling in Europe, however, which urges
on the great powers to continue their
war preparations, ana that this feeling
will develop into a war at no very dis
tant period there is no good reason to
| doubt. When 1t comes Bismarck proposes
that Germany shall be prepared for it.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1887-03-04

| The House, after considerable delay,
| has passed the Senate retaliation bill
without changing it in any respect. The
opposition TO the bill reported by the
| House Committee on Foreign Affairs
was regarded as an altogether too radical
a measure, and one that, if enforced,
would inflict about as much injury on the
| people in this country along the Canadian
border as upon the Canadians them
selves.
The Senate bill gives the President the
| power TO retaliate only so far as to pro-
bibit the entry into this country of Cana
dian vessels and Canadian goods. The
House bill went further than that, and
| proposed to prohibit the entry of locomo-
tives and cars. 1t is clear that the en-
| forcemeut of such law as the House
proposed would have caused a great deal
of dissatisfaction on this side of the
Canadian border. The House, doubtless,
| acted wisely in combining retaliation to
vessels and goods seeking entry at the
ports.
1t is question whether the President
will undertake to try the effect of retalia-
tion as soon as the bill becomes a law, or
will walt a while to see what moral
effect 1t will have. If it brings about
such an Interpretation of existing treaties
as Will permit our fishermen to enjoy such
rights as they claim, and as this govern.
ment claims for them, 1t VIII, OF course,
become practically a dead letter at once.
The President may enforce if, however,
if he finds that England still remains
stubborn.
1t is probable that the Secretary of
State is not in sympathy with the bill.
1t Is understood that he has all along
opposed retaliatOry legislation, thinking
that he could get all our fishermen want
without it. The length OF time which he
has been working at this fishery business
without accomplishing anything. how
ever, justifies the conclusion that but for
the action ofCOngress he would have gone
on with his diplomatic correspondence
until the end Of his term without bring
ing about the least change in the existing
situation. He knows now that pop
uIar sentiment is in favor of more Wig
orous policy, and will sustain MIN in
pursuing a policy of that sort.
1t Is noticeable that the tone OF the
English press has grown a little more
cOnciliatory since IL became apparent
that Congress means to have a settlement
ottne fishery question on a basis that
will recognize the rights OF American
nhermen, and it may not become neces-
sary for the President to take steps look.
